Question

There are (4^2)^3 ⋅ 40 horses at a stud farm. What is the total number of horses in the farm?

Answer 1

the best way to do this is to go part by part

Answer 2

the first part is to solve for the stuff in the parentheses. so what is \[4^{2}\]?

Answer 3

You must have \[4^2{} \] and whenever you get that result you do:
imagine that result=x, then
\[x^{3}\]
and then you multiply by 40

Answer 4

@AdrianP i was going to work through it, but that works too :)

Answer 5

so 4^2 is actually x^3? and then multiply by 40?

Answer 6

No, imagine that you olve 4^2, that result we can call it x
then x^3, then multiply by 40, x is the result of 4^2

Answer 7

solve*
